The complete picture
Your development estimate is the starting point, not the complete budget.
A realistic budget also carries:
✓Business analysis, architecture and governance
✓Independent testing and security
✓DevOps and release
✓The transition to live
✓The ongoing cost to run and change the solution
The tool makes each of these explicit and adds them transparently.

How it works
From an initial estimate to a complete planning view.
01
Enter what you already know
A development budget or person-day estimate, and a single blended daily rate. That is all it takes to begin.
02
Describe the initiative
Structured questions on users, integrations, data, AI, legacy, security, transition and operations. Answer only what applies.
03
Generate the complete budget
Implementation, transition, run and change, with contribution ranges, assumptions, risks and exportable reports.
What you get
The real product, not a promise.
One number becomes a decision-ready range.
The development estimate is expanded into implementation, one-off, run and change, each with a baseline, planning points and an uncertainty-aware upper bound.
Structured questions, no account required.
Work through the assessment and see a summary of your inputs before you commit. An account is only needed to calculate and export the result.

✓Assumptions, risks and uncertainty are surfaced, not buried.
✓Version-controlled methodology and engine version stamped on every report.
✓Planning estimates to structure a decision, not contractual quotations.

FAQ
Questions, answered carefully.
What information do I need to start?
A development budget or person-day estimate and a single blended daily rate. Everything else is gathered through structured questions, and you can refine your inputs at any point.
Can I begin without creating an account?
Yes. You can start and work through the assessment without registering. An account is only needed at the final step, when you generate and save the result.
Why is registration required before the result?
Registration lets the tool save your work, associate the generated estimate with you, and make the PDF and Excel reports available to download and revisit later.
What costs are included?
Delivery (development, business analysis, architecture, project management, testing, security, DevOps and release, operational readiness), transition (migration, cutover, adoption, parallel running, decommissioning), and ongoing run and change costs.
What do Baseline, P50, P75 and Upper mean?
They are planning positions across the estimated range rather than a single figure, spanning a known-cost floor through more prudent positions to a high-side view, so you can choose the basis appropriate to the decision.
Can I download the result?
Yes. Once generated, the estimate can be exported as structured PDF and Excel reports for planning, governance and stakeholder review.
Is the assessment free?
The application is currently free to use, and no payment details are required to start or to generate a result.
Does this replace a detailed technical estimate?
No. Outputs are planning estimates intended to structure a budget conversation. They are not contractual quotations or a substitute for detailed technical estimation.
How are my assessments stored?
Your assessments are associated with your account so you can revisit and export them. Storage and retention specifics are described in the privacy policy.
Build the complete budget, not just the development estimate.
Take your development estimate and see the whole picture: delivery, transition, run and change, with the uncertainty made explicit.
